"This is incredible. That white-robed bladesman actually blocked Beiming Feng's sword strike!"
"Furthermore, he only used two fingers. Could he have been hiding his strength?"
"Tomorrow, the entire southern city will probably be shaken up. Someone used two fingers to block Beiming Feng's sword strike."
"However, in the end, Beiming Feng still chased him away."
"In the past few years, many people have broken the rules and died at Beiming Feng's hands. This white-robed bladesman is really lucky."
There were many people in the southern city. The earlier sword strike had already startled everyone.
Many people saw Xiao Chen catching Beiming Feng's sword strike and found it inconceivable.
As everyone looked in the direction Xiao Chen left, discussions rang out.
Only a few people in the southern city would discover that Xiao Chen's Sharp Spirit Finger actually contained many mysteries despite looking simple.
It was not as simple as a light pinch.
Unfortunately, there were not many experts in the southern city. If it were in the northern city, there would definitely be people who could figure it out.
Xiao Chen left the southern city, moving neither fast nor slow. He leaped from roof to roof for an hour before reaching the dividing line between the northern and southern cities.
With Xiao Chen's speed, he would need another hour to reach the dividing line.
This showed how vast Dragon Flame City was.
The moment Xiao Chen landed, he saw a panting person land before Xiao Chen. That person smiled and said, "Friend, I finally caught up to you."
Xiao Chen had noticed that someone was following him long ago. Furthermore, it was not just one person. However, he did not try to shake them off.
He wanted to see what these people were up to. Now that someone had jumped out, it saved him some trouble.
"Speak, why are you following me?"
Xiao Chen asked directly.
That person wore gray robes and was not very strong. He smiled happily and said, "Friend, you are going to the northern city, right? If you want to make a living in the northern city, you will definitely have to enter the depths of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land. You will definitely have to find a team. I have some connections that can directly introduce you to a strong team. "
Xiao Chen entered deep thought, his expression not changing.
Leng Feng had said that if one wanted to explore the depths of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land alone, only death awaited them.
Xiao Chen had some doubts about this. However, when he heard something similar again, he somewhat believed it.
Perhaps the depths of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land were not suitable for traveling alone.
"Young Master, please don't doubt my identity. Every strong team has spies in the Southern District. There will always be people who die during training, and the team will always be short of people. Young Master obviously meets the requirements. If you can pass the test, I can also get a share of the benefits. "
The person who came was also frank, directly explaining to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said lightly, "What's your name?"
"Just call me Gu Yun. Although I am not strong enough, I have lived in this Dragon Flame City for more than ten years. I know all the rules."
Hearing Xiao Chen's tone, Gu Yun felt that there was hope and said with a smile.
Everyone has their own way of living, some people are destined to have no talent or courage, and can only live like Gu Yun.
There was no lack of such people running errands and earning resources anywhere.
Xiao Chen nodded. "Lead the way."
"Roger that."
Let's see what's going on first. Although he preferred to work alone, Xiao Chen wasn't opposed to joining a team.
After about seven minutes, Gu Yun led Xiao Chen to a lavish courtyard and stopped.
"Gu Yun, are you inviting people to join the team again? Don't bring trash over like last time and make yourself a laughing stock, "a man guarding the door said with a smile when he saw Gu Yun.
"How could I? Absolutely not this time. Absolutely not," Gu Yun said with a fawning smile.
"How could I? Absolutely not this time. Absolutely not," Gu Yun said with a fawning smile.
Xiao Chen followed Gu Yun and was about to enter the courtyard.
"You still have to ask me first whether you can enter or not."
The man guarding the door looked coldly at Xiao Chen. Without saying a word, he blocked Xiao Chen's path.
"Boom!"
However, right after the man spoke, Xiao Chen's fist landed on the man's chest.
Five Cauldron Force instantly erupted. Xiao Chen blasted the man's body into the courtyard like a small mountain and sent the man crashing into the ground.
Ignoring the shocked Gu Yun, Xiao Chen walked in with large strides.
Xiao Chen saw the man groaning endlessly on the empty ground in the courtyard.
The cultivators living in the courtyard were all startled by the commotion and came out one after another.
Xiao Chen took a rough look and found a total of one hundred people. The weakest among them was a Major Primal Core Venerate.
The eyes of several experts flickered, and their auras became startling.
However, more importantly, Xiao Chen discovered some familiar faces. The azure-clad man, Leng Feng, whom he met in the southern city three months ago, and the masked bladesman were among them.
However, that Leng Feng did not seem to be the leader of this team.
"What's going on? Who is so bold to injure our people?"
A gray-clad old man walked out of the crowd. He swept his gaze around and stared at Xiao Chen.
Gu Yun quickly stepped forward and explained, "Senior Ma, this is the person I introduced. He used only two fingers to catch Beiming Feng's sword in the southern city!"
"Whoosh!"
The moment Gu Yun said that, a huge commotion broke out. Many people whispered to each other, occasionally glancing at Xiao Chen.
Beiming Feng was one of the few experts in Dragon Flame City. Furthermore, he was one of the few strong swordsmen.
Ordinary Venerables might not even be able to withstand a single strike from him.
Not to mention, Zhang Xuan had caught his sword with just two fingers.
Clearly, Senior Ma was the leader of this group of people. He was an early-stage Star Venerate, the highest cultivation.
When the old man heard Gu Yun's words, his expression did not change. He said indifferently, "I believe that he would not dare to lie in front of so many people, but this old man really does not believe it."
"Senior Ma, he is the White Robed Bladesman I told you about three months ago."
The green-clothed man, Leng Feng, stood out and said to Old Ma.
Senior Ma valued Leng Feng's words. When he heard Leng Feng's words, his expression immediately warmed. "Since Leng Feng vouched for you, there is no need for you to prove your strength. Are you interested in joining our team to explore the unknown forbidden lands of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land?"
Xiao Chen looked around at the surrounding people.
If the people going to explore the Dragon Flame Ancient Land were all like this, then it would be meaningless for Xiao Chen to go alone.
A single person's strength was too insignificant in front of a team.
If there was a conflict and he became enemies with the team, he would not be able to retaliate at all.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Sure."
"Catching Beiming Feng's sword with just two fingers? Even if you are bragging, that is not how you brag! "
The person who spoke was also a swordsman. As he looked at Xiao Chen, he showed disdain on his face.
Clearly, he did not believe that Xiao Chen could catch Beiming Feng's sword.
Seeing that Xiao Chen wanted to join the team, he expressed his opinion.
Senior Ma's expression changed slightly. "Xiahou Yun, with Leng Feng vouching for him, it is sufficient to prove his strength."
"Humph! Did Leng Feng personally see him catch Beiming Feng's sword? If he is really that capable, I will not stop him from joining the team if he can catch my sword with just two fingers. "
Xiahou Yun hugged his sword, showing a proud and aloof expression, unwilling to cooperate.
Xiahou Yun locked his gaze on Xiao Chen and continued, "There is no need for you to make things difficult for Senior Ma. If you are capable, catch my sword. Use your strength to prove yourself. This is the rule of Dragon Flame City. "
"You, make your move."
Xiao Chen said simply as he looked at the other party.
"Good! Watch out for my sword!"
"Whoosh!"
Right after Xiahou Yun spoke, his figure flashed. The sword in his hand had already left its scabbard at some point in time. It gave off a cold light as it stabbed at Xiao Chen at lightning speed.
Xiahou Yun intentionally made things difficult for Xiao Chen. The blade of his sword was covered in frost and cold Qi.
If Xiahou Yun caught it with his bare hands, his fingers would freeze on the spot. With a backhand strike, he could chop off Xiao Chen's entire arm.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, and in the time it took for a spark to fly, he made his move. Two fingers firmly clamped down on Xiahou Yun's sword.
To think that Xiahou Yun really dared to do this. He was truly reckless.
Xiahou Yun smiled coldly in his heart. Just as he was about to draw his sword and execute a backhand strike, he discovered that he could not draw his sword at all.
The surrounding space seemed to have solidified.
"Sorry for my incompetence."
Xiao Chen gently flicked his sword, and a mix of Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi surged out together with the sword.
The sword immediately twisted and bounced Xiahou Yun back with a loud 'bang.'
"He really managed to catch it!"
This broadened the horizons of several cultivators in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, a peak Minor Primal Core Venerate like Xiao Chen still had such a move.
Senior Ma laughed loudly and said, "Wonderful! Little Brother's move is really brilliant. Using the body as a cauldron to communicate with the power of the world, instantly driving all the Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi in the body. Interesting, truly interesting. "
Just using the body as a cauldron was already very ingenious, not something that ordinary people could comprehend.
Merging Vital Qi and Veritable Essence Energy and instantly infusing the entire body was even more demanding on the meridians. How could a regular meridian body endure the merging of Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi?
What was even rarer was that Xiao Chen's cultivation was not high, yet he managed to do this. His Veritable Essence Energy foundation was definitely very vast. It was very likely that he would condense a 7-Star Primal Core.
As a Star Venerate, Senior Ma could make out many things.
However, although he could, it was practically impossible for him to do it.
Just the merging of Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi stumped him.
